Buddhism has deeply influenced the character and evolution of Asian civilization over the past 2,500 years. It is based on the teachings of a historical figure, Siddhartha Gautama, who lived around the fifth century BCE. As it moved across Asia, Buddhism absorbed indigenous beliefs and incorporated a wide range of imagery, both local and foreign, into its art and religious practices. Buddhism continues to evolve as a religion in many parts of the world.

Learn kecak, the Ramayana monkey chant depicting a battle from the epic story in which Hanuman helps Rama fight the demon Ravana. Members of Gamelan Sekar Jaya teach audience members simple percussive chants through basic patterns of kecak, some body movement and cueing—louder, softer, stopping and different percussive sounds. Using what they’ve learned, the audience is invited to join Gamelan Sekar Jaya members in a kecak, making the space vibrate with the sounds of “cak”. An excerpt of a dance showcasing the Ramayana will also be performed.

The Ramayana comes to life through the second in a three-part series of cross-cultural dance workshops. Kathak comes from the word katha, meaning to tell stories. Charlotte Moraga of Chitresh Das Dance Co. will perform an excerpt from the Ramayana— Pandit Chitresh Das’ Sita Haran, the Abduction of Sita — in a traditional Kathak solo. Rama, Lakshmana and Sita are in the Panchavati forest when the demon Maricha, disguised as a golden deer, tempts Sita and distracts Rama so that Ravana can steal her away, setting in motion fateful events. On the surface it appears to be a fairytale of good and evil, but the ambiguity beneath has many layers. In a Kathak solo, the dancer portrays all the characters in a story using abhinaya (facial expression), hastaks (hand movements) and dance. Afterward, families can learn some of this fascinating Kathak vocabulary in a workshop with members of the Chhandam Youth Dance Company (CYDC).

Information about China was spread through books, prints, and export items, such as porcelain and textiles. Reports compiled by Jesuit missionaries fueled the curiosity of the public and inspired chinoiserie, the evocation of Chinese motifs in art, furniture, architecture, and gardens. Just as Jesuits translated important authors such as Euclid into Chinese, they also translated Confucian works into Latin.

“If the Qur’an is indeed a divine message to all peoples, what does it mean to an individual American in the 21st century?”
